About this property

Oasis of calm, charm, and comfort in great location near the ocean, resorts

This guest suite is perfect for your escape to a tranquil and peaceful retreat. With 2 queen beds, heating, AC, WiFi, smart TVs and more (see below), guests will have everything they need for a wonderful stay. This cozy space offers a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring the area. We look forward to welcoming you to our place.

NOTICE: The guest suite is a completely independent and private section of a larger condo. It is separated by a hallway. The suite includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom (towels, soap, shampoo, hair dryer are provided) NOTHING is SHARED and you won’t meet anyone. It’s self check-in. One bedroom opens to a large furnished terrace with enchanting views. The terrace is exclusively yours. Step to the terrace from your bedroom and relax on the comfortable furniture, meditate while beholding the serene view. Drink a glass of wine, cup of coffee or work on your laptop. It’s very peaceful & quiet. Only bird song and fresh weather. Enjoy the enchanting views and sunny southern CA weather.
Please notice that your ACCESS is LIMITED to the suite & terrace.

There are plenty of free parking on the adjacent street (30 sec walk to suite). No parking on the premises is allowed at any time. Your car may get towed. The guest suite does NOT have a KITCHEN. Just two single rooms. We provide a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, 2 large screen smart TVs, fans, heaters, cups, hangers, etc. (See photos). There’s also a good size closet and hangers in the second bedroom. Plenty of restaurants within 5-15 minutes drive. That includes lovely Laguna Beach & Dana Point. For brunch we recommend Plumeria. Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria and Montage resorts are within 10 min drive. Disney Land is about 30 min drive. John Wayne airport 25 min. Fashion island in New port beach about 25 min drive. Pacific highway is 5 min drive. LA 55 miles North. San Diego 60 miles south. There are two security cameras on the property. One at the entrance (lock cam) one on the porch. None of these areas has expectation of privacy. There’s another one covering the host quarters not the guest suite! In general guests should expect privacy exclusively in the guest suite. Beyond the guest suite there should be no expectation of privacy.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

Quiet and clean. Host was nice and communicative. Guest suit is separated by wall not a hallway just to be clear. Didn’t ruin anything because we just slept there, and couldn’t hear anyone next door until checkout, but it is not an independent unit.

The Host was great. Rooms were clean and nice!. Its in a nice quiet area near a golf course. Found shops nearby for shopping and a nice Nigel Donuts/bakery for breakfast and many other places in Dana Point. Host helped us a beach with free parking and we were able to enjoy a couple of days in a nice quiet area in the hills of Laguna Niguel. It is a Condo which part was converted into a VRBO.

Great value. Very peaceful golf course view

A very comfortable and affordable stay adjacent to Laguna Beach. A great outdoor patio overlooking El Niguel Country Club golf course which was a great spot for both morning coffee and winding down with some wine in the evening. Definitely recommend for a great value.

This was a great home base for us. We were able to get out and go to all the local places quickly and easily. Took a bit to find as maps don’t seem to know how to get there. But Aria was super helpful. If you don’t need all the amenities and are just looking for a place to spend the night, clean up and/or take a quick break in the day. This is your place.

Home away from home

What a bargain! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, with breathtaking views right from your suite. You can’t beat the price for two fully furnished, separate rooms. Plenty of street parking nearby.Arya was wonderful—always available and attentive. Check-in was seamless, with clear and detailed instructions for easy self check-in. No gates, no confusion, no need for a guide. Check-out was just as simple—shut the door and leave.The place was peaceful, private, and tranquil. It was also clean, comfortable, and located in a safe, serene neighborhood. After searching through most vacation rentals, this was by far the most affordable option in pricey South Orange County. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and sightseeing spots nearby.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The good: two separate sleeping rooms, a must when you have a snorer in the family. Cheaper than two hotel rooms. The operator is also responsive and friendly over text messages. The bad: This is a crudely separated two bedroom, 1 bath carve out from a larger place. The inside door locks only from the inside and does not lock when you are gone. Upon checkin, you will be given explicit instructions not to walk anywhere on the grounds - a major bummer because there are nice walking paths around the golf course that I would have enjoyed. There is also a pool in the complex, but there is no access for that either. I suspect that the HOA and/or city do not permit short term rentals - otherwise I have no explanation for why we were strictly forbidden from enjoying the amenities. The place itself is on the bottom floor so it is dark, dank, and musty. We ran the bathroom fan all day and our towels were still damp. Also, there are security cameras on the porch so a complete lack of privacy in the only area where one could have comfortably sat and enjoyed the view of where they are forbidden to go.

Simple, No Frills, Economical StayThis property is as advertised. The space was private. The toiletries, snacks, and drinks were appreciated. The beds were comfortable. One was firmer, one was softer, so good options for guests. The view from the back patio was nice. The area and property was quiet and felt safe. Communication with the owner was clear and effective. Communication was a bit excessive. The rules seem VERY important here, and are communicated almost excessively. I’m sure there are likely past guests that have had a hard time following rules and directions, leading to the owner feeling the need to ensure clarity and understanding. But for those of us that can follow directions and respect rules, the level of communication made things feel less at ease or comfortable than I would’ve liked. If we were looking for a staycation on property, this property probably wouldn’t have been for us. For our plans, we needed a bed to sleep in and this did the job.
